You best make room for one more because I will be moving in at the beginning of the week.

/survived a childhood FILLED with spiders

I hate to break it to y'all, but there are several species of spiders that have pretty much moved into the role of "house spiders" and have been doing so pretty much along with us as a species, because our domiciles are fantastic hunting grounds for critters that have pretty much become synonymous with human habitation. You see them, that means that critters of a less than generous nature where your foodstuffs and skin flakes and crumbs and such are concerned, and certainly all the biomass that works up in the walls, under the floors, and in your basements and attics, or just above the ceiling boards. BTW: the spiders are the good guys in these wee dramas, and hooking you up by playing predator to pests. Just sayin'...

Mister Peejay:Passing on the highway is just fine, zip and you're gone and we both get on with our lives.

What makes me curse is when some of the local "bikers" block all four lanes of traffic and slow everyone down to 20mph so some of them can get a good long stretch of clear road so they can do top-end pulls.

Yeah, we don't pull that crap. That's just rude.We do our top-end pulls in traffic so we don't hold anyone up. ; )

Wise_Guy:xanadian: I like spiders. I used to let them build webs in my bedroom when I was a teen. Not because I was goth or anything like that, but because they were VERY good at keeping the # of mosquitoes down.

I never understood that logic.

It's like keeping a Crip in your house to keep the Bloods away.

Hey man, don't dis Latrelle. He does a good job, and I get to claim him on my tax returns as a dependent.

roflmaonow:Uchiha_Cycliste:Did you see the video earlier this week of a spider killed by a spray of bug spray only to have a worm wriggle spiral its way out? I swear to god the worm looked bigger than the spider. Anyways, rethink the spray approach.

Spider thread! Time to tell my terrifying story again! You may have read it in another spider thread!

I was smoking and reading a book on the back porch late one night when I lived with my mom and it was well after midnight. I felt something brush my cheek and just wiped it away and didn't think anything of it. A few moments later it was back and I brushed again. After the third time I was getting suspicious, so I looked up to my left there, slowly falling towards me like like they're Easy Company and the rest of the 101st airborne parachuting into France, is a large cloud of black widow babies falling at me. I was pretty freaked out for the rest of the night and would randomly start brushing myself furiously when I felt anything.

/other than that I love spiders, they kill real bugs so I don't have to//csb
